By: Daniella Krishma The supertalented kid from Broadway's Motown The Musical made an appearance last night at Majorie's Fund on November 4, 2013. A benefit to bring awareness to Juvenile Diabetes. The mission of Marjorie’s Fund is to empower adolescents and adults living with type 1 diabetes in resource poor settings to not only survive their diagnosis, but to effectively control their diabetes and to thrive into adulthood. The initiative is headed up by Dr. Jason Baker. Dr. Baker is an Assistant Professor of Medicine and Attending Endocrinologist at Cornell Medical College in New York. He is a graduate of Emory University College and Medical School. He completed an Internal Medicine residency at New York University and a fellowship in Diabetes, Endocrinology and Metabolism at Albert Einstein College of Medicine/Montefiore Medical Center. Dr. Baker, a type 1 diabetes patient himself, has interests which include disease management through education and lifestyle interventions, prevention of type 1 diabetes, and the impact of diabetes on international health. Dr. Baker has been involved in numerous global health diabetes projects in Uganda, Rwanda, Ethiopia, Ghana, India, Republic of Georgia, Qatar, and Haiti. He founded the non-profit organization “Marjorie’s Fund”, a type 1 diabetes global initiative dedicated to education, care, and research of type 1 diabetes in the developing world. The young Kaleb, got a chance to meet Dr. Baker and some of his staff. Kaleb talked about what a great cause this was and how he felt it was great to have such a dedicated doctor like Dr. Baker, donate his time. In the near future, Kaleb and Dr. Baker wil be collaborating on some benefit events to bring more awareness to the cause "Majorie's Fund." The young Kaleb, is cute as a button and his adorable infectious nature is evident before he even opens his mouth to sing. So well-spoken, it's hard to believe, he is only ten years old. Kaleb said; " However I can lend my gift to help, I want to do it." He wants to bring awareness so others don't have to die like Marjorie. "Through better education, early detection and kindhearted doctors like Dr. Baker, more people can live and not die", said the young Kaleb. Below is a clip of the young Kaleb singing "I'll Be There" at the benefit. Darius Kaleb portrayed the young: Micheal Jackson, Stevie Wonder and Berry Gordy Jr., in the hit Broadway show "Motown The Musical."
